My partner and I travel pretty often so we stock up on food on a weekly budget of $100 at Aldi.
We buy Southern Grove trail mix and Simms beef jerky to bring on flights and road trips.

My partner and I are avid travelers who often stock up on food at Aldi to take in the car or on planes. We find we save a lot of money on costly airport meals and hotel restaurants by planning ahead whenever we take a trip.

Aldi is also our favorite supermarket, so it's great that locations are easy to find all over the central and eastern US. There's also often an Aldi within walking distance of whatever hotel we stay at, so we'll head over with a reusable bag or backpack to grab some microwavable meals or shelf-stable foods.

For a typical week of travel, my partner and I try to only dine out once a day. Otherwise, we stick to a grocery budget of $100 a week at Aldi.

Here are 10 of my favorite things to get at Aldi when we travel.
